What if I want the death of all humans... /s
I suppose you also want to make your own theme park with blackjack and hookers.
As an anarchist who is opposed to accelerationionism, it's frustrating how many people see it as an ideology that wants the state to immediately collapse.
I've had multiple arguments with liberals who say I'm not a real anarchist because I want pragmatic short-term progressive solutions like Medicare for all.
So yeah, I'm not wanting to condemn people to death for my ideology. Got me! (Not you, PugJesus)
History teaches us that collapse and revolution rarely goes well for anyone.
I like to point people to Desert by Anonymous. It talks about how the plan should really be waiting for the State to recede as collapse progresses, and finding the spaces left behind where theres room for mutual aid based organization.
I like that. It turns your attention to what's in front of you, rather than waiting for the mythical Revolution we'll likely never see.

I always like to (admittedly, pedantically) point out that if anarchism is defined purely etymologically, all it means is "without hierarchy".
My personal interpretation is that it doesn't necessarily imply a lack of a state, democratic or representative government, or jurisprudence of established law; it only implies a lack of arbitrary and tiered authority or power.
Anarchists are incredibly caricatured in the popular mind. Curious though, how would you describe your pragmatic short-term progressive anarchism? Reformist Anarchism? Incrementalist?
I don't know of a name for it, but it's fairly common in anarchistic thought as far as I can tell.
Mutual aid is really the bedrock principle in anarchism, so setting up structures for it where we can is important even if they are imperfect.

Some ideologies want to be the boot pressing down on other’s necks and set the world on fire.
The rest aren’t so bad compared to that.
I like this comment.
As much as I crap on certain leftists, they still have the ideology "I wish people were slightly more kinder" and I would love their ideology to be accepted common sense rather than current one.
I would be just as happier if they were considered the new "centrists." And current right-wing considered far, far extreme.

The crazy thing is that the current economic system we utilize isn't considered nonsensical.
I guess an economic system that requires infinite growth made a bit more sense during the age of discovery, when people were actively finding new continents to exploit. One would think that now we've definitively concluded we inhabit a closed system with a finite amount of natural resources, maybe just maybe we could evolve our economic system to reflect that?

If post-apocalyptic media has taught us anything, it's that the same systems will rise again, only now they are even more warped and fucked up than they were before the apocalypse.
Let me dream god damn it, its the closest I have for a hope for a better future
"We can still improv...."
No....
No shut up
My favorite part is this is exactly what the dems are doing with Trump, their startegy since the beginning was not to stop Trump and just wait for him to ruin the country enough that people vote for them again. They were saying as much earlier in the year too. Hilarious to see how they called all their detractors accelerationist before deciding to join in.
Stupidity knows no ideological borders, it would seem
no? literally no leftists side with maga (except for maga communism, but that's fringe).

I don’t know what’s coming after this; better, worse, another version of the same.
I’m just tired of waiting for the other shoe to drop.
My money is on worse. The billionaire class has the means to take full control if society were to collapse and form it in their interest.
Even if a specific currency became meaningless, they'd still have wealth to transfer to whatever currency isn't.

Ah the worst political people are those living in fantasy land
It’s not about “my” ideology; that’s focusing on the wrong part. The problem is that it’s a ridiculous analysis. Most of the people who say this stuff nominally support a free society of some sort, basically a version socialism, but it’s not personal.
MAGA are not socialists but many of them wanted to see the system crash and burn.
Many of those people will not have developed political reasoning, and will consider themselves "apolitical" due to having never investigated their own political viewpoints...
Or worse, they'll consider themselves "objective" when it comes to politics, claiming they just know when something is true, or good for people.
